: : : : : For seeding purposes do section winners automatically get a home game in the first round, or any round? Or are the host teams in each round simply by a ranking basis?: : : : : Thanks

: : : : All State games home games are decided by the higher seed.

: : : Yes all home games are given to the higher seeds but when it comes to seeding it is strictly a ranking by a committee, section champions are not automatically seeded higher. Last year some SS runner ups were seeded higher than SD, LACity and Central Section champions. The State CIF determines who goes into each bracket and can move teams. Each section is given a specific number of spots (I think the number is 44 for the Southern Section). Usually it is divided 4 - Open, 8 - division 1 and 8 for each division down to 5, but the state can adjust who goes where. The southern section is just given 44 spots, the other sections needless to say are given not nearly as many.

: : Thanks for both responses

: I know there is Southern section CIF San Diego section CIF and City Section CIF is there a fourth section that will be playing for a Regional Championship with us
